Rigid Scholars Mock Harmonization

In this video I read four quotations in which scholars make fun of harmonization by comparing reasonable harmonizations with far-fetched ones, sometimes using views that have never even been seriously advocated as a straw man of harmonizing. This is a tactic that one should be prepared for. This sort of condescension and mockery can make anyone more conservative than the "scholarly consensus" feel foolish and ignorant. But such illicit tactics are less likely to work if one has been prepared for them in advance.
